[color=#000000ost_uid0]Just to say that I had a great day (after a bit of mucking around at the start, but you get that....).

Good to catch up with everyone and "yack Astina".

sik_astina's car looking awesome now that sticker is gone off its ar$e

Looking at Mal's "tap the throttle and GO!" on the freeway had me thinking (more...) gotta get me some of that.....

Some damn fine rides about the place and good people that belong to them (and yes that includes Eric and Dean with the "ring-ins")

All Good. Anytime fellas.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Yeah I had a great time too. *After the inital don't want to
go because my car is all bingled feeling I ended up having
a great day. *The drive home with all the thunder was way
cool. *Love the smell after the rain so loved driving through
it. *So thanks for a good day. *Oh and the arm is still good
and red *

Regards

Mal
p.s Critter, remember each one of those highway overtaking
passes chews through the fuel. *I used a lot less on the way
back cause wasn't doing it anywhere near as much. *Fuel
guage works opposite to the boost guage * * But wouldn't
have it any other way *[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000000ost_uid1]Hey Mick,
Just wanted to say your car looked sick on the road when I
dropped back and followed behind you. Makes the car look
fatter without any clutter like the cyber badge on the back.
Your's looked great as well Peter. Just that you hung back
a bit too far for me to do it often. The BA Hatches have a
real glued to the road look from a distance which is great.
Looked ominous the dark shape on Micks ready to pounce
on Critters car in front.

Regards

Mal[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]thanks mal. you guys where to fast for me to tail. plus it started to rain on the way home. i have a few great shots of your car from behind with the 18s chromes shinning and perfect ride height. i wish my car where that low. (and also one shot focus on my side mirror with you and mick in the reflection)

i had a great day except for the long drive and the dead insects on the front bar (I SHOULD HAVE SPRAYED THE FRONT BAR WITH INSECT REPELLANT), but was worth it. finally got to meet some of the guys in the forum.

mick, send me a copy of the pics you/leanne took.
thanks[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Had a great day except had to leave to baby sit my niece. Thanks to mal and tony for convincing me to put the turbo engine in (all that is needed is to convince my girl friend its a good idea).
Great to put some faces to names. Tony I have a number for you to try for the fuel relay. Call me and I'll give you the details.
Maybe wollongong should be the next one Close for canberra and sydney guys.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#0000FFost_uid2]Yeah guys

I had a great day, as did Leanne. The last pic I took on my roll was a shot of Peter's car so I'll have to get my mate with his digital to get a pic of me removing my "oh so popular" cyber sticker on the front Arse end sure does look alot better without it though doesnt it!

As soon as I get the pics developed I'll scan em and put em on my site for all to see (not that I got that many pics). Hey Pete, did you get any good shots of my car (and others)? You can send em to my e-mail when you got the time if you like.

Thanks to Tony and the Canberra guys for taking us around canberra. Great to meet up with everyone again after so long without a cruise.

How about the next cruise be in Wollongong?? There's a beach you can actually swim in (unlike that lake thing near that flagpole lol) And it also gives Theo and Nay no excuse coz they got my place to stay at hehe

[color=#000000ost_uid1]We could always do a sat/sun overnight thing down the
south coast rent out a whole motel or something go swimming,
fishing getting pissed etc etc etc. I liked the lunch yesterday
sitting around having a chat about not just cars but normal
stuff as well. Maybe in the new year whilst everybody is still
in the festive mood and lots of people are on holidays and not
worried about work monday.

Regards

Mal[/colorost_uid1]

[color=#000000ost_uid2]Had a great time as well. Was great to sit around and yak about cars and everything else like Mal said.

With my [bost_uid2]very[/bost_uid2] standard V6 I felt underpowered, undermodified, too quiet and [bost_uid2]much[/bost_uid2] too high off the ground - but was very welcome and had a great day.

Apart from waiting an hour and a half for you Sydney siders to arrive

Will make a point of making it to the next one and will keep [bost_uid2]JJ[/bost_uid2] informed as he is not on the boards.

Thanks again!

Andy. [/colorost_uid2]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]for the ppl with ICQ and wants a copy of the pics i took, let me know and ill just send them on ICQ as it is faster there instead of email.

mick, i have a few shots of your car on the road which looks better when moving and a few shots on the grass shoot out. i didnt get to take alot of pics cause my 64meg memory stick was set to the highest resollution.

eric, which yahoo? you have two accounts.

BTW thanks to the canberra ppl for the tour![/colorost_uid0]

[color=#FF00FFost_uid7]Hey Andy, If the next cruise is in the Gong, you wont be the only stock astina there I'll definitely bring my baby along for the trip. (a whole 15 minute drive for me lol)

I thought the Canberra cruise was great, good to see so many come along and nice meeting all of you. Can't wait to see the pics!

i think the panorama is at full res, not sure on that, still trying to work out my software
(it's actually 2 shots merged)[/colorost_uid0]
